Cull The Weak

Ballistics

This is a build without using the elective mode..i.e each slot is occupied by the default skill type.
So what do you ppl think???? This is my 1st saved build(the other got trashed due to the new skill calculator)
I looked up to this class the least... but the rapid fire skill caught my eye..(its like a frkin minigun.. and as a UT3 fan i loooooooooove miniguns )

Seems to be quite a nice build. But in my opinion it can be even more efficient if switching on the elective mode. If so, I would change Companion for Sentry skill (modified with Spitfire Turret rune, which also shoots rockets). Following this change it would be advisable to substitute Numbing Traps (it affects only Caltrops skill lowering the damage of the enemies) with Custom Engineering, increasing the duration of Caltrops and Sentry for 100%. Probably you can also change Rain of Vengeance for Marked for Death (with Valley of Death rune inside) as it's affected by Custom Engineering as well. In this way you can derive maximum advantage from that skill. :-)
As a variant, Bola Shot you can replace with Entangling Shot (with Chain Gang rune chosen) to make the best use of Cull the Weak skill.

Well, that's my point of view. Of course you are free to use the default non-elective mode in the way you did it. :-)

I made a slight changes. In your build i misses traps and pure damage skill.

Not bad

There are many variations of D3 builds, but I believe the best of them require elective mode. In the case of the Demon Hunter, I don't really like any of the primary skills. Have you considered Grenades as your primary skill?

Hopefully  Mortal enemy helps you spam rapid fire on a boss for most of the encounter. I don't like the idea of having several skills sharing a limited resource like Hatred specially if most of them are spamable. 3 of your skills in that build share resources and are very expensive, you will only be able to use each once at a time. I like the Idea of dropping Companion and Sentry once every 20 seconds and just focusing on keeping shit of me with caltrops and blowing stuff up with my primary and secondary.Wolfs don't have a cool down so it seems like an awesome pet for a build that doesn't use discipline much.
